Local reports

Local reports provide a clear, concise overview of what is happening on your network based on log data and can be customized to serve different purposes. Local reports are created from logs stored on the FortiProxy unit’s hard drive. These reports, generated by the FortiProxy unit itself, provide a central overview of traffic and security features on the FortiProxy unit. The default report compiles security feature activity from various security-related logs, such as virus and attack logs.

On the Log & Report > Reports > Local page, you can generate, schedule, view, and download local reports. You can also set the frequency and timing of auto-generated reports.

Note To create local reports, you need to enable disk logging and local reports in Log settings.
